Plotting Their Next Adventure

 Good morning,

That's (clockwise from left) Elsa, Lily, Teddy, and Tuey plotting their next adventure.  

They certainly do keep us busy with their antics!

Dogs are special, aren't they....

Reuben from Izzy's

 Good morning,

Catherine brought home Reubens from Izzy's and we had a marvelous meal.  Beneath that Reuben sandwich was a delicious potato pancake.

 I first went to Izzy's at their downtown location in the 1960's when Izzy was behind the counter yelling back and forth with the staff and customers.  In addition to fabulous food just eating there was a truly fun experience.

Check out Izzy's web site and if you have time, take a look at their history link. 

 Enjoy,

Lois

Winnie the Pooh Tree

 Good morning,

Our house guest, four month old Tuey, has found our Winnie the Pooh tree.

Our pups have dug out a hole under our old oak tree and think it is all kinds of fun to play in there.  

Tuey has definitely made himself at home!

Waffle Cakes - Norwegian Style

 Good morning,

Catherine made a favorite dessert for us:  Norwegian Waffle Cakes with strawberries and whipped cream.

The waffle cakes are made with sour cream and are sooooo delicious!  She also uses a traditional waffle iron that makes heart shaped waffles.

So good!

Thank you, Catherine!

Love you,

Mom & Dad

Tuey on the Deck Chair

 Good morning,

That sweet ball of fur is Tuey, only four months old.  He's visiting us and has moved in quickly to the spots he enjoys most.

 Tuey is on the patio "doggie deck chair" where Lily has assembled her collection of toys, wood, and towels she has stolen from the house.

 Tuey moved right in, didn't he!

More to come....

Brunch ala Kjell

 Good morning,

My Sweetie made brunch.  

I'm a lucky lady.

Fishies!

 Good morning,

Each Spring Catherine cleans out the gold fish pond in our back yard.  It's part of my Mother's Day present and I truly appreciate it.  I used to do this every Spring myself, but my back has refused to cooperate with such tasks for the past few years.

Catherine purchased a new "school" of fish that will grow up to be fat and sassy on all the bugs and plant material in the pond IF our resident sushi catcher doesn't stop them. 

 Our Lily (see right side of image) thinks the pond is her personal sushi tank so...

 ...we put a milk carton in the pond with paving stones on top to hold it in place.

Now the fish have a place to hide and survive!

I love these images Kjell took of Lily looking at the new "fish house" in the pond. 

This will be a fun Summer.

All the best,

Lois
